Intake install Problems, need advice

YawnY are you headed to the track this weekend if you get it fixed?

K sooo I did the whole threaded rod trick for the 2 middle bolts, worked really good and I found some longer bolts that worked for the two outer. I got it running and everything had the lower all torqued, took it for a quick ride and noticed my throttle body valve not opening all the way. Will have to adjust that tomorrow.

ALSO here's the big one. With the car at idle I noticed a small oil leak at the front of the lower, not a big deal easy fix, but upon closer inspection I saw that the whole lower intake was shaking like it was loose. Soooo that kind of makes me wonder wtf is going on.... I'm going to check all the bolts tomorrow and see whats going on. Hopefully a simple fix.

Fixed it, stock intake bolts are to long and were bottoming out in the head. added a washer on each bolt and it's fixed now.
